Netflix usually displays only a selection of categories, while the codes give access to all of them

Netflix normally shows only a limited number of categories, based on what the service’s algorithms believe a specific user might like.

But the codes allow you to see the full list of more than 15,000 genres used by the service to organise its TV shows and movies.

Unfortunately the trick will work only on the website, as it requires targeting specific browser pages, something that is not possible to do through the apps on different devices such as smart TVs, smartphones or gaming consoles.

Also, as Netflix changes its algorithms regularly, some of the codes might not display new categories, or might not work at all in other parts of the world when affected by the platform’s regional variations.

These are some of the new and returning TV shows and films coming to Netflix in 2018
